Gene Description

Gpi16 is the PIG-T-family accessory subunit of the endoplasmic-reticulum GPI-anchor transamidase complex. Its large lumenal domain and C-terminal membrane anchor support assembly and function of the machinery that attaches preformed GPI anchors to proteins. The catalytic cleavage/transamidation chemistry belongs to the Gpi8/PIG-K subunit, rather than to Gpi16 alone.

GO_REF:0000015
ACCEPT
Summary: An autonomous molecular activity has not been established for Gpi16.
Reason: Retain the ND root annotation: accessory complex membership and participation in GPI attachment do not establish an independently enabled transamidase activity.

Summary: GPI attachment supports fungal cell-wall protein deployment.
Reason: This is a downstream consequence of maturation of GPI-anchored proteins; the molecular role of Gpi16 is in the ER transamidase complex. Retain the curated ComplexPortal context without treating cell-wall organization as an independent biochemical activity.
